RadioInk reports that the $4,000 fine 610 WIP received for FCC violations has been cancelled, but the station will still pay that amount to the federal government:

The new consent decree ends the investigation and cancels the forfeiture. Instead, CBS Radio will make a voluntary contribution to the Treasury and create a compliance plan within 30 days that will include a memo to all WIP programming staff that explains FCC contest rules and station procedures.
